What the odds of fitting 37's

Im running the procomp kit with coilovers un cranked, I have wheels that are very close to stock backspacing and tuck in really well. I know wheels are a major part if tires clear so with my wheels tucking in so much do you think I have better odds of clearing 37s without having to crank my coilovers and bind up my CVs? Ill be ready for tires soon and if I dont sell it before then Im really thinking about 37s I need just a little more tire I think. Anyone in Tempe/gilbert have a spare set of 37s I could mount on my rims and see??

The CV angles aren't that bad IMO with the coilovers cranked.(pic in gallery)

Try a 12.50 tire. It'll be a tight fit without gaining a little more clearance.

yours isnt half as bad as I normally see. My problem is when I prerun I use the hell out of 4wd and really put the Tq down when I have to tow a truck out I dont need to be snaping a CV when Im out recovering a truck because of the angle and bind

I'd bet it'll rub, but you can trim... Ideally wouldn't you want 4.5" bs or so in those wheels? That would help..
